adblock for IE9

Using IE9 (Very pleased with it) but the ads were getting to me.
Have installed Simple Adbock for IE9 as an addon and it has solved the problem. Pprune doesn't flash at me now.
Any adverse comments on this free addon?

Ah well! There was a catch.

After two days a screen came up to say they omitted to tell me that it was a 30 day trial and after that there would be a maximum of 100 blocks per day. (Whatever that means)

Back to the search.

Have you considered adding a tracking privacy list from adblockplus and/or privacychoice?

Thanks for that Bushfiva - You re-awakened my interest and I found Quero.

Now playing with that and so far - success!

1) Go to Tools > Add-ons and download Adblock Plus.
2) When Firefox restarts, make sure you pick a subscription list to apply to it.
3) Enjoy your ad-free browsing experience.

Just to square the circle!

Quero did the trick. It is working very well.

Thankyou for your suggestions.
